Master Of None

Onyx watched as Midnight toyed with the squad and looked at those who had gathered before him. He knew that he had already given his sister enough time to give her message and he could do what he needed. 

"I am an abyssal serpent and I feed on the light elemental mana in the world. Therefore, light elemental skills will not do much to me but feed me. With my tough scales, you will have a hard time harming me. Do not hold back or else." Onyx collide his body and prepared himself. 

The elves felt that everything had started and immediately got in to their own formations. Before Onyx could even attack there was a small sword made of light arching toward him. He expertly dodged it while pulling the light elemental mana toward him. The blade of the sword dimmed as it missed him but a faint light spread through his scales. 

"That was a good attack but too slow to catch me even though my size is larger," Onyx spoke up to the youing spell sword to push them to move faster. Unfortunately for the spell sword, Onyx had sensed the light elemental mana and dodged out of instinct. His agility had played no role in this at all.

Ignoring the light elemental spell sword Onyx used his tail to slam down in to the middle of the group of elves. They were quick to avoid his attack directly but there were not able to avoid the shock that it caused. This move was more dangerous due to the stunning effect it had. This reason was why Onyx felt the need to test it more than any other skill he had. If he could use it properly he could set the others in the party up to get some safe attacks in on an enemy.

This attack also protected him from direct counters since it would stun those that were too close to it. Overall it was the perfect move for him as a supporter of the party since he was not a major attacker yet. This was slowly changing and he had the hope that he would be able to stand next to Midnight sooner than expected. 

The elves reacted by stabilizing themselves and creating a distance from him. They were all readying their spells while the spell swords tried to get nearer to attack. The mages with the longer ranged attacks wanted to let Onyx become distracted by the spell swords then deal a heavy blow to prove that they were stronger than Onyx was led to believe. 

This did not go as they planned though, Onyx slammed down his tail yet again stunning every single spell sword before they were able to even throw a light blade toward them. This was followed by him springing out of his coil and completely surrounding a small group of light mages that were boosting one mage's spell. 

The spell was forming a spear of light and the others were adding their light elemental mana to it. This would have been a strong group spell if Onyx had not surrounded them and begun to pull away all the light mana from them. Before they knew what to do the light elemental attack had been reduced to nothing. Onyx was just waiting menacingly. 

"You were easily surrounded and need to think of ways to escape a situation like this. If I was a real monster in the wilds you could be dead right now." Onyx spoke quickly since he felt a magical attack coming toward him. 

There was a spell sword that had avoided the effects of his tail slam and had sent three thrown light blades at him. It was an impressive accomplishment since two of them were heading perfectly on target of where he would have moved to dodge if he did not absorb the light elemental mana first. 

When he turned to look at the attacker a very thin and frail looking spell sword was still rushing at him. He proceeded to change his size to a more agile form and charge her as well. He was interested in how she managed to use the skill without him realized it until it was already heading toward him. 

The two were on a collision course when the spell sword let off another three thrown light blades. Onyx was unable to dodge them and felt the contact on his scales. He was able to absorb the light elemental mana but also could feel the force of the attack. It was the first that had hit him and he could only be impressed. 

"I can not sense your elemental mana as you prepare your attack. You are the most promising out of all of these elves here." His praise went a long way as the spell sword began to push her agility even more. This time she sent four thrown light blades at Onyx who was quick to dodge. 

His counter attack brought him springing on to her back and beginning to bind her. She could not use her sword like this and was completely trapped. Onyx realized that the other mages had not stopped their spells and saw that there was only one result in this situation. 

"Please hold fast and let me protect you now." Onyx let his size return to the largest possible and completely wrapped around the frail looking spell sword. 

The light elemental mana attacks were being formed all around him and he would not be able to dodge or they would hit the spell sword he was wrapped around. If he did this he could not be considered a member of his family who strived to be heroes in their daily lives. Onyx braced himself to feel the force of the spells about to hit him and try to absorb all of the light elemental mana at once.
